Click on the 3 dots you'll see at the bottom right aside the search field. Then click 'Delete clip data' option to open a new window where you can see te size of all clips... Check there I would say.

Hey I found that screenshots usually take the largest amount of space.
I wrote a python script that removes all the screenshots from the database and adds them into the same folder so you can delete them as you see fit.
Ditto.db got 700 GB large due to saving every screenshot I ever made.
After deleting every CF_DIB off my computer, the Ditto.db file is still at size 700 GB.
How do I clear these 700 GB's?
Holy smokes. 700GB?!
I wonder if you could try searching for "Copied File" in Ditto and delete all the results?
Edit I'm an idiot. Ignore this comment.

I use multiple 2160p monitors on that computer. And Ditto saves screenshot as BMP, which means that each screenshot can be >100 MB big.

Aha!!! I never knew this existed (always wanted something like this). Son of a...
This just found a few clips in my db were 400MB in size. Thank you @RainroomM!
But I would also like not to delete the other things that are not the screenshots.
How do I keep all of them?
Also in Option under Advance button. Click on Compact and Repair db button.
The file is slowly shrinking, so it works, apparently.
Is it possible to sort clips by age in this module? I have many old ones I'll never use again, but finding t hem is laborious.
I don't think so. Would be good to have the option to click on headers to get asc / descending.
= Suggestion to Developer
New: Possibility to sort on fields by click on Header of each column.
